Absolutely unrelenting. Drones flying overhead non-stop for an hour now, constant explosions, smell of smoke in the air.

Third drone attack on Kyiv in as many days. Buzz of Shahed drones, anti-air machine gun fire and loud explosions triggering car alarms.

Another long night in Kyiv as the capital and several other Ukrainian cities faced a heavy barrage of ballistic missiles and drones that destroyed buildings, killed 3 first responders and cut power to thousands. Story with @maxseddon : https://t.co/l2yyWAbx9h

I was in Kherson last week, where almost every bus driving throughout the city has been damaged by FPV drones or artillery strikes. Targeting transport is clearly one of the ways to asphyxiate a city. https://t.co/JnlZJnHL9U

Eight russian drones hit a bus depot in Kharkiv last night, destroying one bus and damaging 18.

Reactions to this piece almost as interesting as the piece itself—a true litmus test for how people view Russia.

Fascinating interviews with Russian journalists who never emigrated and stuck with the profession. Their harsh criticisms of the exiled independent press are profound — a real gut punch. Russian & Western audiences seem to have completely opposite demands & expectations. 👇 https://t.co/khY6inrC2R

"Russia’s strategy is one of cumulative attrition: continuous pressure through relentless missile/drone attacks very often aimed at civilian populations, sustained troop replacements enabled by ongoing recruitment, and increased production of precision munitions."

Here’s a brief update on the situation in Ukraine, focusing on Donbas and the air picture. Over the past week, Russian elements from the 57th and 33rd Motor Rifle Regiments penetrated Ukrainian defensive positions along the TO504 road linking Pokrovsk and Konstantynivka. https://t.co/2Niqegnljz

Important look at where things are standing right now--this week has made it clear that Russia is more confident than ever it can achieve its objectives on the battlefield rather than at the negotiating table.

A timely assessment here by @konrad_muzyka in light of this weekend's massive Russian airstrikes across Ukraine. https://t.co/7f0Wb7iWyF https://t.co/NpUvFRjHQw

Worrying trend. Russian advances are still limited relative to the size of the frontline, but advances don't say much about attrition rate–something a lot harder to see or estimate.

Russian attacks have stabilized around 170/day - an unprecedented sustained rate. Reported losses are declining, while captured positions are rising again. Momentum appears to be shifting as territorial gains increase despite fewer losses. https://t.co/5z1KEtwJEl
